I don't want to install catalyst because Gnome3 doesn't work with catalyst. That was what I was using earlier but I removed catalyst and installed opensource ATI driver to try Gnome3.

I am having this weird problem. Whenever I run pacman -Syu or pacman -Su it asks me to replace lib32-libgl with lib32-catalyst-utils. [papul@papuldesktop chromium]$ sudo pacman -Su :: Starting full system upgrade... :: Replace lib32-libgl with catalyst/lib32-catalyst-utils? [Y/n] y resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... :: catalyst-utils and libgl are in conflict. Remove libgl? [y/N] y error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: ati-dri: requires libgl=7.10.3

However I don't want lib32-catalyst. What do I have to do to make this disappear? To answer this question seriously...

Do you want to use the open source driver xf86-video-ati or the closed source driver catalyst?

Do you have 32 bit software installed on your x86_64 system? I guess yes, considering that you have lib32-libgl installed.

Regarding the first question: You can't have installed both xf86-video-ati and catalyst at the same time.

If you're using xf86-video-ati you need libgl and lib32-libgl for 32 bit software. Then you need to uninstall catalyst-utils and lib32-catalyst-utils.

If you're using catalyst then you need to uninstall libgl and lib32-libgl and to install catalyst-utils and lib32-catalyst-utils, because catalyst-utils provides libgl.

So you most likely are asked for replacing lib32-libgl with lib32-catalyst-utils, because you're using catalyst. So you definitely need to say yes to this question.

Only say no to it if you want to use xf86-video-ati. But then I would suggest to uninstall every video driver and related package (xf86-video-ati, libgl, ati-dri, mesa, lib32-libgl, catalyst, catalyst-utils and lib32-catalyst-utils) and to freshly install the video driver of your choice (either xf86-video-ati or catalyst).

OK, I am answering your question in this way: I want to keep using the opensource ati drivers. Also I want to use lib32-libgl for all the 32-bit packages. So as you told me I tried to uninstall catalyst-utils and lib32-catalyst-utils. But I can't uninstall these as they aren't installed. So why the hell am I asked to replace lib32-libgl with lib32-catalyst-utils everytime I upgrade? It is some sort of a bug? What is causing this problem?

Really silly questions: - Are you using any repos other than [core], [extra], [community] and [multilib]? - Are you using any pacman wrappers?

I'm asking because pacman can't find anything to do with catalyst here and I'm using all the above mentioned repos so I don't see how using the official repos could cause that. If you are using other repos (or pacman wrappers, that as far as I know are not supported) you should know what you are doing so you how know how to deal with these kind of conflicts and possible breakage that might happen.

Yes I am using catalyst repo. I use yaourt but thats not a pacman wrapper I guess.
